Set limitation for EditText height and maximum lines according to the screen size

I have a notebook application and I want to limit my editText maximum lines according to the screen height. for example 40 lines in nexus-6p and 35 lines in nexus5 and etc.

So my question is how can I limit the editText lines? I don't have any idea for this.

UPDATE

I want to create new note page when cursor reached the last line.

I Found the solution, thank everyone for the response.

My solution is:

int lineHeight = getLineHeight();
int height = getHeight();
int maximumLines = height / lineHeight();

If your EditText just contains chars, use screenSize/editText.getLineHeight(). However, if it also contains some mark-ups(like Spannable), this method will be useless and there may not be a solution.

You can get screen size in pixel by writing following code.

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

After that you can put the condition and then assign the EditText in following way

editText.setMaxLines();

Your problem will be solved

For more details of Screen size refer the link: Supporting Multiple Screens

I think you should create different layout files based on the screen dimensions. In those layout files you can change the maxLine parameter for the EditText.

Check your screen size and put lines acording the height.

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int height = display.getHeight();

//Calculate the lines with the height proportion

edittext.setMaxLines(lines);
